The Long and Short Haul Problem.
AS rule the people do not know whether
they want the long and short haul clause of
the interstate commerce act enforced or sus-
pended, because they do not know what
effect its enforcement will have upon differ
emit interests. There are some who think
that the enforcement of the clause will
benefit them, and others who are certain that
the enforcement of it will seriously iniure
them. 1t is probable that there are some
shippers who are able to determine pretty
clearly what their interests require, but
even they disagree. If suspension benefits
one it is pretty certain to harm another.
1t is a very difficult thing for a city to
determine whether it wants the clause sus-
pended or not Its enforcement will help
some kinds of business and injure, if not de-
stroy, others. The two trade bodies of this
city have asked that the law, as it stands. be
enforced until they can determine by ex-
perience whether they want it enforced or
not. This is plain admission of doubt as
TO what the effect of enforcement will be.
There is no doubt that if the opinions of
business men of the city could be obtained
some would condemn the course taken by
the Cotton Exchange and Board of Trade,
and Others would approve of it. Each fac
ton would be controlled by self-interest, and
not, perhaps, by what it regarded to be for
the best interests of the city.
The Mobile Board of Trade wants the long
and short haul clause suspended. It thinks
the enforcement of the clause will ruin its
trade 1t is port, as Savannah is, and yet
one of its trade bodies regards as harmful
that which Savannah's trade bodies are in
clined to think will be beneficial to this
city. 1t is difficult to see how the commits
sion is to get at an understanding of what
the interests of the majority require 1t
cannot, of course, enforce the clause as to
some interests and suspend it as to others.
in the same localities, and it cannot enforce it
as to some towns and suspend it as to others
Such a course would involve the commits
sion in no end Of trouble and would cause
general dissatisfaction and irritation. The
more the commission studys the long and
short haul problem the more difficult does
its solution appear

Senator Reagan, of Texas, has written a
letter ON the interstate commerce law.
Among other things he says: 'The reasons
for increasing freight rates and for predic-
tions falsely made of the danger of running
the commercial business aud other interests
Of the country are the basis of the argu-
ments by which it is intended to alarm the
country and befool the commission into
course which would substantially annul the
law, sacrifice the best interest of the coun-
try, and probably force Congress to harsher
aud more vigorous legislation for the pro-
lection Of the interests of the people"
Senator Reagan, it must be remembered, is
one of the authors Of the interstate com

lug that at the next session of the Do:
minion parliament legislation be intro
-duced to amend the constitution of the
North vest council as follows: That the
council hereafter be purely elective,
in the first instance to. consist
of twenty-five members; that mem
bers be elected for a term of
four years; that the qualifications of a
voter be that he is a.male British subject,
not an Indian, twenty-one years Of age.
and has resided six months in the divi-
sion in which he votes; that the council
be presided over by one of their number,
that the lieutenant governor carry on his
executive functions by, and with the adj
vice of an executive council OF those
who shall be sworn in as privy council
lors, and hold seats in the Northwest
council. The resolutions adopted on the
temperance question state that the pres
ent liquor system In tine northwest
is unsatisfactory and ineffective,
either as a temperance or a prohibitory
measure, and that the council is of opin-
ion that power to deal with the
liquor question similar to that employed
by the provinces under the British North
America act should be given to this coun.
ell; that the provisions of theCanada tenn
perance act be extended to the terrific
rics. Twenty-six ordinances were passed
during the session of the council, being
chiefly amendments to those passed in
other wears.

Boston, Nov. 22.-George Ryder, OF

fight to a finish, bare knuckles, for $500.
twenty-five rounds were fought, when
the affair was stopped by a wrangle and
the cry that police were onto them Up
to the sixteenth round the fight seemed
in Ryder's favor, but succeeding rounds
appeared to demonstrate Breen's superb

of foul, I" by Breen's friends brought on
the wrangle that terminated the fight.
After much talking the referee ordered
the men to finish the fight, and, after
five hours' delay in trying to find a new
battle ground, the men went at it in the
old ring again. Four desperate and
bloody rounds were fought, with appar-
emily no advantage to either. In the
thirtieth round Ryder cut q big cash in
Breen's cheek, and in the thirty-tirst
round an upper cut on Breen's jaw laid
him senseless in his corner. He did not
recover for tlftse minutes. Ryder was

A County Scat Fight,

BENKLEMAN, Neb., Nov. 22.-The citi-
zens of Cheyenne county, Kan. ON Fri
day last held an election to decide the
location of the county seat. Bird City
and Wano, the two largest towns, were
the only contestants. The official count
gave the majority of the votes to Wano.
The citizens OF Bird City, where the
county seat is now located, were dissatis-
fed with the result, and armed them
selves with rifles and revolvers and took
possession of the court house. The Wano
men, upon learning of this, sent here to
purchase all the arms and ammunition
to be obtained, and are organizing a force
to dlslodge the Bird City men. Blood
shed seems inevitable, az both sides are
determined to resist on what they con
slider their rights.

Sensational Evidence of an Eyewitness
Charging Arensdor With Shooting.
SIOUX CITY, Ia, Nov. 22.-Sensational
evidence was introduced In the Arens-
dorf murder trial through a witness
named Mrs. Josephson, who claims to
have been an eyewitness of the Had
dock homicide. The witness is an igno-
rant woman, with her husband engaged
in delivering milk about the city. On
the night of the murder, she says, she
was delayed in making her rounds, and
was near the scene of the tragedy about
0 o'clock. Espying Bismarck, who
it seems had been injuring her,
h determined to pipe his
movements. She secreted herself for the
purpose. Witness then described events
leading up to the murder substantially
as Bismarck had done, and charges the
shooting to John Arensdorf, with whom
she was we'll acquainted by reason of
having often obtained malt for her cows
at the Franz brewery. She is still on the
stand and subjected to severe cross-ex-
animation, but holds well to the thread
of her story. Her husband will follow
her. 1t is said the defense will have q
witness tho. win impeach her evidence.

Judgment, a moro feeble or inefficient

lesson by their bungling incapacity.
They are teaching the people of Ireland
that the law may be successfully defied,
for the law, as recently constructed, by
the Unionist majority in the house OF
commons, is daily defied and with Inn
punity, by thousands Of members Of the
suppressed branches OF the National

extraordinary results Of this coercion act

that for avery offenss against the law
